Sullivans Cove 12yo Single Malt Aust Whisky Cask No. HH0525 (700ml, ABV 47.5%)
$19,999.00
Yes - that HH0525 - the very same cask that was awarded WORLD'S BEST SINGLE MALT at the WORLD WHISKY AWARDS in 2014.
This whisky was aged in a single 300-litre French Oak Tawny cask, filled on October 24, 2000. It was decanted on March 19, 2013 producing only 516 bottles.
Like all Sullivans Cove whiskies, it was a beautiful drop enjoyed like any other - but then something extraordinary happened.
It was entered into the 2014 World Whiskies Awards, where it was crowned 'Best Single Malt Whisky in the World' - becoming the very first whisky not from Scotland or Japan to take out this prestigious title, and the win catapulted Australian whisky into the whisky-verse carving the way for every craft distillery in the country.
Most of the bottles had already been sold (and probably consumed) before the awards. In fact, Sullivans Cove themselves only had three bottles left when the win was announced.
